Thanks all for the kind words. I thought it would look terrible if we didn't bring a basket. We are flying in and we have zero extra space and to be honest I have been working so much I just don't have the time to put anything together, I haven't even packed yet. I will totally donate but I was super embarrassed to show up empty handed! Thanks so much for the feedback, I feel much better!

J Freshie: Please do not worry about this! I just was concerned that some would pick up on part of the conversation, and not all of it --- and not understand the purely voluntary part of it (and that most do NOT participate in it who attend the MeetandGreet). Probably best to just refer people to the discussion above if they are interested in participating, but enough said....I know you are helping to do a good thing for Sarge.
Like I said, so many are strapped right now financially....and to think that they would be embarrassed/stand out if they do not donate is something none should feel so wanted to make sure they know this is not true....and I know that was not your intention at all! It is just a touchy subject when people are suggesting donations....even for a good cause.
Having said that, the baskets are mentioned on most every PIR group. Some groups have interest in them, some do not. So there really is no problem mentioning them and setting up a discussion for them.

Ladies, just a reminder that we cannot post exact BattleStations dates on this page....but you can post that you HAVE one for Div ___ and ask others to contact you for it. Please click on the "x" in the box to remove your post if you disclose a BattleStations date! Thanks!

Ship12div016mom, Please come to the M & G.
What Division is your loved one in? We are flying in, thus I don't have room for a basket. We will however be donating to Sarge and his wife for the hard work. I cant believe we only have 4 more days !!!!

Well said, amity! All family members are so very welcome at the MeetandGreet! It is not about money! Go and enjoy!
Good Morning All !

there will be approximately 1,000 new sailors at PIR there are only 113 members on this PIR Community. We are the lucky ones that get to know what's going on during boot camp and we feel as we are a family. Don't you worry about anything. there are at least 800 families that don't know anything about the baskets. This is time for celebration. This is all about your new Sailor's accomplishments. I also appreciate other mom's desire to help Serge on his beautiful commitment to celebrate us Navymoms and families.
At the end of the day that's all it is a BIG CELEBRATION!!!
